Slang in Australia.

Log huts are commonly called ssshan- ties,'' and a curse of the bush districts of Australia is the ''grog shanty," an insti- tuition only too common. A hand em- ployed on sheep or cattle station, when he receives his periodical check from his employer, will often forthwith make tracks, for the nearest 'sgrog shanty,' and remain there until the whole of his hardly earned pay is consumed in drink. Should he meet kindred spirits there the money will, probably, be soon dissipated by the process of shouting" Each man in turn ''shouts s''-that is to say, stands treat to the rest of the gathering. When the money is gone the bushman, sadder if not wiser man, will return to his work on the station and begin to earn the wherewithal for another such debauch. Shouting" is a very common colonial expression for standing treat to strangers. A frequent invitation is to take a ''long sleeved 'un, that is, drink from long pint plass. In the early days of the gold fever such hospitality was often practiced on a very extravagant scale.
 It may be noted, by the way, that ''inns'' do not exist in Australia; every house of refreshment is 'hotel." It may be only wooden shanty up country or it may rise to the dignity of galvanized iron erection in small township, CT, finally, it may be a palatial building in a capital city; but the name remains the same. A native of New South Wales is known as a 'tcornstalk,'' because the men generally grow tall and thin. The opposite kind of build, short and thick set, is called ''nuggetty." A ''gum sucker" is a native of Tasmania, and owes his elegant nickname to the abun- dance of gum trees in the Tasmanian forests. A native of Queensland is a ''banana lander.' 'Joey" is familiar name for anything young or small, and is applied indifferently to a puppy or a kitten or a child, while s'wood and water Joey" is a hanger about hotels and doer of odds jobs.-All the Year Round.

CHANG AND ENG.
The Peculiar Family Life or the Famous
 SiaInese Twins.

The fcCuLlar tamly Liie OI the FamOuS
 Sianese Twins.
 Chang and Eng. the Siamese twins, who were brought to this country by Captain Coffin, of Ncwburyport, when they were boys, afterwards exhibited themselves, and when they had accumu- lated some property determined to set tie down and purchase a plantation in the up-country of North Carolina. There they induced the two daughters of a clergyman to become their wives. The double nuptial knot was tied, and as they could not have separate and dis tinct establishments, they became heads of double household. In 1853 they came to Washington, having become rather tired of country life, and started out on a tour of exhibition, accompanied by two of their children. At that time they had eleven children, six of them belonging to Mrs. Chang, and the other five to Mrs. Eng. They had also about thirty slaves, with good deal of stock. When at home they attended industri- ously to the business of their planta- tion, kept the negroes at work, and were always ready and willing to blow. chop wood and do all sorts of farm work. Then, when business was not urgent they would devote their time to field sports, and were among the keen est hunters. fowlers and fishers of their district The Mesdames Chang and Eng seconded their lords right well in the management of the concern, and remained behind to take care of the household during the absence of their distinguished consorts. Madame Chang was said to devote her time to the gen. eral supervision of the slaves and the direction of the work to be performed on the plantation; while Madame Eng charged herself with the care of all the young masters and misses, instructing them and the little negro children. A 1 few years afterwards saw it stated in the papers that the two wives had quar. reled, and another plantation had been bought, so that each had her individ1,;uJ ia home.

WONDERS OF THE SEf.
Its Great Depth, Deceptive Waves and
 Power of Evaporation.

Its Great Depth, Deceptive Waves and
 Power of Evaporation.
 The sea occupies three-fifths of the surface of the earth. At the depth of about $500 feet waves are not felt. Tine temperature is the same, varying only trife from the ice of the pole to the sun of the equator. A mile down the water has a pressure of over ton to the square inch. If box of six feet lowed to evaporate under the sun, there would two inches of salt left on the bottom. Taking the average depth of the ocean to be three miles, there would be layer of pure salt 230 feet thick on the bed of the Atlantic. The water is colder at the bottom than at the surface. In the many bays on the coast of Norway the water often freezes at the bottom before it does above.
 Waves are very deceptive. To look ct them in a storm one would think the water travelled. The water stays in the same place but the motion goes on. Sometimes in storms these waves are forty feet high and travel fifty miles an hour-more than twice as fast as the swiftest steamer. The distance from valley to valley is generally fifteen times the height, hence a wave five feet high will extend over seventy-fve feet of water. The force of the dashing on Bell Rock is said to be seventeen tons for each square yard. Evaporation is wonderful power in drawing the water from the sea. Every year layer of the entire sea fourteen feet thick is taken up into the clouds.
 The winds bear their burden into the land, and the water comes down in rain upon the fields, to flow back at last through rivers. The depth of the sea presents an interesting problem. If the Atlantic was lowered 6,554 feet, the distance from shore to shore would be half as great, or 1,500 miles. If lowered little more than three miles, say 18,6S9 feet, there would be a road of dry land from Newfoundland to Ire land. This is the plane on which the great Atlantic cables were laid. The Mediterranean is comparatively shal- low The drying up of 66O feet would leave three different seas, and Africa would be joined with Italy. The British Channel is more like pond, which ac- counts for it's choppy waves.
 It has been found difficult to get the correct sounding of the Atlantic. A midshipman of the navy overcame the difficulty, and shot weighing thirty pounds carries down the line. A hole is bored through the sinker, through which rod of iron is passed, moving easily back and forth. In the end of the ! Jar Gar cup is dug, and ttne inside coated with lard. The bar is made fast to the line. and sling holds the shot on When the bar, which extends below tho ball, touches the earth, the sling un hooks and the shot slides of. The lare in the end of the bar holds some of the sand. or whatever may be on the bot tom, and drop shuts over the cup tt keep the water from washing the sant out. When the ground is reached | shock is felt as if an electric curren
 had passed through the line, = Ocea' Wdu6

DEFORMED WAISTS.
Some of the III Effects of Corset-wearfng
 and Tight Lacing.

aHu
 The girl of the period seems to be trifle. more sensible than her sister of the last decade Her boots are not quite as pointed at the toe, and their heels are not as distinctively "French." She does not as ambitiously emulate the camel, in the wearing of hump upon her back, and she has discarded the 'Tats' and cushions which erst were wont to make her coiffure into the semblance of pillows and bolsters. Unfortunately, however, she does not yet realize that beauty is inconsistent with pinched waist. Ad- mirablc as the wasp may be in his hum- ble capacity as an insect, there seems to be no legitimate reason for Q young woman's modelling herself upon his figure; but the young woman insists up- on doing so. She is wont to express the most ,fervent admiration for the Venus of Milo; but even at the moment when she stands rapt in contemplation of the grand creature, she finds it diff ficult to draw full breath, so tightly enclosed is she in corsets.
 Napoleon l., who had as much com mon sense as military ability, was dis mayed at the revival of the corset in 1912. He said to an eminent physician, in regard to it: This wear, born of coquetry and bad taste, which murders women and ill-treats their offspring, tells of frivolous taste, and warns me of an approaching decadence.
 Cuvier, whose work on comparative anatomy was published during the Consulate, and who occupied high off, cial position both at that time and un- der the Empire, had also the greatest aversion toward this article of dress. He once endeavored, by practical illus tration, to force his views upon a young lady who was victim of tight lacing. Walking with him ill the Jardin des Plantes, sine expressed her admiration for a very lovely flower.
 You were once like this blossom, :" said Cuvier, glancing at her thin, pale face. "To-morrow it will be as you are now"
 The next day he led her to the same spot, where she found the flower droop- ing and dying. She asked the cause.
 ''The plant" said the great anatom- ist, ''is an image of yourself. Twill show you the trouble"
 He pointed to a cord bound tightly about the stem, and continued: " ou are fading away exactly in the same manner, under the compression of your corset, and you are losing by degrees all your youthful charms, just because you have not the courage to resist this dangerous fashion"
 Said the last King of France, in an epigram which should have stung his subjects into common sense "Once you met Dianas, Venuses or Niobcs; nowadays, only wasps."
 Beauty is always to be revered and sought after, and the woman might be forgiven who. by torturing herself, really attained true loveliness but when she attempts to improve upon nature, she merely defeats her own ob- ject. It is no more possible to enhance her charms, save by healthful living, than it is for river to ruu up hill. The unnatural is always the ugly; it is but another name for deformity. The human figure in the shape of a wasp is as truly deformed as if it's spinal col umn described semi-circle.- Youth, ]

Oxerreached Himself.

MT James Keegan had bargained at Prince Edward Island for horse, the price to be $175, and was just about to hand over the money when he remarked: ''The halter goes with the horse, of course; I have none with me-" The halter in question was an old one, worth perhaps forty cents 70, no" replied the owner, "if you want the halter I want my pay for it. This was too much for our genial friend Keegan, and quoth he: '.How much do you want for your old halter?' ''Seventy-fve cents," was the reply. "All right" said Keegan. Here's your seventy-fve cents; that's just such halter as I've been looking for.'' And as he passed over the change he quietly took off the halter, put the $175 back into his pocket stepped into his buggy and rc1 rrcc1e away. leaving his over-grasping owner to lament the loss of a good sale, and to get home his pridleless horse as best he might-Aug~sta (lMe.

The next morn ing, for miles along the shore, these bald granite islets, some small, some large, lie in serried rows with deep water between them and the mainland-a convenient arrangement that should be appreciated by yachtsnen, since it affords vessels of ordinary size an opportunity for coasting agreeably in smooth water, even when the Kattegat or the Skager Rack outside are in mood severely unpleasant Cornhill Magazine.
